Homeowners and Renters Insurance

The Tri-Cities is protected from many natural disasters that other parts of the state and country are exposed to, but we do experience frequent winds. Today the combination of 20 mph winds and a brush fire threatened homes from the Badger/Clodfelter/Triple Vista area to Hansen Park in Kennewick. Our thoughts are with those who have been affected. News reported residents to be safely evacuated as about 38 engines and 110 firefighters fought to keep flames away from about 50 homes.

Most buyers are required to obtain insurance for possible disasters, but it’s a good idea for renters to protect their belongings as well. We’d like to remind both homeowners and renters to evaluate insurance policies regularly to ensure your home and belongings are protected in the event of a fire or other disaster. We’d like to thank the firefighters and all those who sacrificed and put in time and effort today to keep the flames contained!
